Losing a treasured animal companion can be as every bit as painful as losing a dear friend or member of the family. People experiencing this special kind of grief often feel isolated in their sadness and loneliness.

The Pet Bereavement Support Program offers a place to learn about your grief and to discuss tools to manage your experience, in addition to the community of others missing a dear pet.
